Have to change the IP of Solaris 8 on a Sun Enterprise 450 tomorrow.

Do know the ifconfig, but have to change some files as well to consolidate this.

Can't find/remember which files that are.

Anybody?

Try the search button next time - this comes up quite often. See IP change

After you've ifconfig'd.....

/etc/hosts (the line corresponding to the appropriate hostname.interface file)
/etc/netmasks (this is a softlink to /etc/inet/netmasks)

Obviously this'll all need to be done from the console....

There are other files that'll need changing depending on your needs and the scale of changes made. There's a script here for a hostname change if you need to do that also.

It is always worth doing a
find /etc -type f -exec grep "old.ip.address.here" {} /dev/null \;
to see if the IP address appears anywhere else (hard coded into badly written start scripts, or whatever)....

Also; there may be application specific changes to be made, for example, Sybase would need changes to its interface file, etc, etc, etc....
